ABSTRACT:
A brake cable coupling means for a rear wheel scissor hand brake activated by a cable which is pulled away from the brake to cause the scissoring against the rear wheel rim. The brake cable coupling means includes an inner rotatable member slidably mounted on the stem of the front fork of the bicycle and a separate cable portion extending to a hand brake handle mounted on the handle bar. An outer sleeve member surrounds the inner rotatable member with another cable portion secured thereto and extending to said brake. Alternatively bearing means may be interposed between the inner member and the outer sleeve or form a part of said outer sleeve. The inner sleeve member includes means to move said outer sleeve and said bearing means vertically upwardly therewith to activate said brake. The brake cable coupling means is activatable no matter what degree of rotation the front wheel of the bicycle is turned relative to the location of the respective cable portions.
